"Mr. Lai seemed to be in good spirits on the phone and said happily that he hadn't played mahjong at his wife's house for a long time. He already likes playing mahjong, and he was in high spirits, so we came over."
Judging from the tone of the department store owner's words, he should be very familiar with the situation of Lai Qianxiu and his wife. The two are currently separated. The husband invited his friends to play mahjong at his wife's house. The three of them must have thought that the couple had reconciled, and of course they would be rewarded.
"Mr. Lai seemed very excited, so he was very lucky tonight. He played several games in a row and kept winning money. Mrs. Lai was also very happy and was making suggestions." The restaurant owner took over, "Then, Mr. Lai said "Sorry, I stood up unsteadily. At that time, we were only playing mahjong and didn't pay attention to him. Now that I think about it, that's when he started to feel uncomfortable."
The owner of the antique shop continued: "We thought he was going to the bathroom, so we asked him to come back early. We were still waiting for him to come out. So Mr. Lai went out. We waited for a long time, but before he came back, we put down the cards. He started smoking. Suddenly, the lady loudly called us over, and we ran over in a panic and saw that Mr. Lai had fallen unconscious in the living room."
"Maybe it's an ominous omen for Mr. Lai to come home and play mahjong." The department store owner said sympathetically, "The three of us are good friends with Mr. Lai, but we don't have many opportunities to meet each other. He asked us to come over tonight. , I thought something was wrong. Of course, I didn’t mean that Mr. Lai would be in trouble. Fortunately, his wife was at home when he was sick, so we were relieved."
"Yes, you can let Madam take care of it." The owner of the antique shop nodded in agreement.
"Doctor," the restaurant owner asked in a low voice, "What kind of disease is it?"
"To put it simply, it's cardiac arrest." Xiao Long replied.
"Cardiac arrest? Is it important?" the three asked solemnly.
"It's hard to say. We can't tell without in-depth observation."
There was regret on the faces of the three people. How did this happen? They quietly discussed whether to stay here until the patient's condition was confirmed, and the low voice of conversation reached Xiao Long's ears. After they reached an agreement, the department store owner turned to Xiao Long: "Doctor, we are very worried. We originally came to play cards together, but we didn't want Mr. Lai to suddenly become ill. We want to stay until tomorrow morning. If you need anything, feel free to contact us."
The antique shop owner asked, "Doctor, do you want to call a relative?"
Xiao Long pretended to be thoughtful. He knew the situation of Lai Qianxiu's family very well: one relative was in Dongyang City and the other was in Siping City.
"Let the notification be given."
This was tantamount to giving a death notice, and the three of them were shocked again.
"I am an outsider after all, so you should discuss it with Madam. The patient is in critical condition, so I will excuse you now."
"Thank you." The three of them thanked Xiao Long together.
"Ah, please wait a moment. Doctor, are you staying here all the time?" The antique shop owner seemed to be observing his words.
"of course."
Xiao Long stood up and walked out of the room. He did not return to the patient's room immediately, but pretended to go to the bathroom and went to the corridor to smoke. The courtyard was dark and the voices of maids could be heard in the distance.
Now Lai Qianxiu's husband is extremely angry and will probably die in another hour.
It was Lai Qianxiu's idea to lure the poor husband home. Her husband missed home very much, but he was afraid in front of his powerful wife, so he did not dare to go back easily. Facing his wife's invitation to go home, the cowardly husband was extremely happy, which is reasonable. Lai Qianxiu should treat her husband like this He said: "Invite your friends to play mahjong!" After hearing this, the husband naturally agreed happily.
In this murder plan, witnesses are necessary. Killing a person without anyone noticing would arouse suspicion, but if you call your mahjong players and let him die of natural causes in front of them, no one will be suspicious. In short, the more witnesses, the better.
Xiao Long once gave a certain medicine to Lai Qianxiu. Lai Qianxiu lied to her husband that it was a medicine to activate sexual ability and gave it to him to drink. In fact, this medicine can make people faint, and the effect of the medicine started to take effect when playing mahjong. Qianxiu's husband was already delirious after leaving the table.
After that, Lai Qianxiu called Xiao Long according to the predetermined plan, and Xiao Long drove over immediately. In this situation, an experienced nurse would definitely be an obstacle. They might recognize the medicine Xiao Long injected. Bringing inexperienced trainee nurses can avoid this situation. Therefore, it is also appropriate to find an excuse to send Shi Yunfeng out. important part of this plan.
Xiao Long secretly took out the injection medicine from the pharmacy in advance. As long as the medicine is injected into the vein, cardiac arrest will occur soon.
The maid in the distance began to stir, probably because her master's condition was deteriorating. At this time, Xiao Long had just finished half of his cigarette.
From now on, he can freely ask Lai Qianxiu for money, and the money for his marriage to Longzhu has also been secured. Xiao Long can be freed from his current unstable living situation immediately, and the hospital's consecutive deficits can be resolved as soon as possible. He is tired of the turbulent life. If he marries Long Zhu, he can maintain the decent social status of the hospital director and live a comfortable life. Moreover, even if he is dissatisfied with the marriage between Xiao Long and Long Zhu, Lai Qianxiu does not dare to Prosecute Xiao Long for committing a crime. She was also an accomplice of her husband's murder, and she also owned a huge property. She had no other choice but to shed tears every night to save her property and life.
Xiao Long threw away the cigarette butt, and the red light slowly disappeared in the dark.
As soon as Xiao Long returned to the room, two men walked quietly from the other end of the corridor, one was a restaurant owner and the other was an antique shop owner.
"Doctor," the owner of the antique shop approached Xiao Long, "the three of us were originally going to stay here, but the madam asked us to go back first. Since the madam said so, we can't insist on it, so only one person is left, the two of us. Excuse me now."
The ones who stayed were the department store owners.
Xiao Long nodded knowingly: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"Then leave everything to the doctor. We will definitely come if anything happens." The two of them saluted again and thanked him.
It was Lai Qianxiu's cleverness not to let three people stay at the same time. She was worried that people would talk too much. Women are just so timid.
Xiao Long walked through the corridor and entered the patient's room. Lai Qianxiu, who was curled up on the pillow, raised her head and looked at Xiao Long. The corners of her eyes were raised and she looked unhappy. The husband kept his original posture, and the intern nurse held the patient's hand dutifully. Xiao Long checked his pulse again. The pulse was very messy and weak.
Lai Qianxiu winked, and Xiao Long said to the nurse: "Go and get a glass of water." The nurse stood up timidly.
When there were only two people left, Lai Qianxiu stayed close to Xiao Long.
"Three people wanted to stay, but in the end only one remained."
"Where is the man left behind?"
"Let him sleep in another room. I asked him to sleep first. If his condition changes, I will wake him up."
"Yeah." Xiao Long nodded.
Lai Qianxiu leaned close to Xiao Long's ear and asked in an extremely low voice: "Are you okay?" She looked at her husband to confirm whether he was dead.
Xiao Long indicated with his eyes: It's okay.
"Because he was so quiet, when the nurse went to the bathroom, I put a mirror in front of his nose, and he almost stopped breathing."
Lai Qianxiu was so meticulous, Xiao Long couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"When will he die?" she asked.
Xiao Long was startled, but still replied in a calm tone: "It's almost over, it won't last more than an hour."
The patient still opened his mouth and exhaled slowly. The flesh on the bridge of his nose had collapsed, and his face was as pale as dirt.
"I hope you walk quietly." She stroked her husband's thin cheek with her fingertips, then held her husband's hand and sighed: "It would be better if it was colder."
A small drop of blood seeped out from the needle hole on the patient's wrist. The injected liquid should have reached the heart through the blood vessels and caused a reaction. However, since it was injected by a doctor, even if a pinhole is left, it will not be questioned. Others may think that it is an injection such as camphor liquid, which is a routine treatment.
Lai Qianxiu put down her husband's hand and said, "There is no pain, this is good." Was it because she couldn't bear to see him suffer, or was she worried that others would become suspicious and unable to hear what she was thinking.
